Sad is that is, we have to admire a show that knows when to call it quits and goes out on top. Broadchurch does just that.
Masterfully written by Chibnall and brilliantly executed by a superb ensemble cast.
Broadchurch is a gripping portrait of small-town paranoia.
True to form, Broadchurch ducks and weaves with a gripping mix of suspense and red herrings. [30 Jun 2017, p.55]
Season 2 is, from the start, an entirely messier, more contingent affair, enjoyable in a different and, to me, more appealing way.
Despite some flaws, Broadchurch is beautifully filmed, sharply directed and intensely acted.
Given how wonderful its first season was, the fact that Broadchurch has turned into such a muddle is the bigger disappointment. Despite the usual array of finely calibrated performances, the second season simply doesn't work, in large part because it consciously and deliberately undoes much of what was powerful about the shattering conclusion to the first season.
